“Where’s the Earth Worm?”
“There, there!” The man in luxurious clothes pointed at the little bamboo forest where the little girl was.
The little girl’s face turned pale and she hurriedly said, “S-Sir! There are no Earthworms, no…”
“Go away!”
The leader of the armored guards reached out and gently pushed her aside. She fell down in a mud pit. They approached the bamboo forest. He waved his hand and instructed, “Dig them out!”
“Yes!”
A group of armored guards brandished their swords and sabers as they advanced.
The little girl was so anxious that she cried. She could not care less about the mud all over her body. She hurriedly got up and jogged to the captain of the guards. She grabbed the edge of his armor and said, “Sir, there are really no Earth Worms. I’ve seen them! These bamboo shoots have just grown. They’re gone now…”
The captain of the guards was impatient. He raised his leg and kicked her away for a distance. However, he did not use any strength. He only made the little girl roll on the ground.
Then, he looked around and said sternly, “Prince Jing hates Earth Worms! Not to mention a bamboo forest and bamboo shoots, even your lives are nothing compared to Earth Worms!”
This group of armored guards exerted their strength and soon, the entire bamboo forest was shoveled open.
A layer of the ground was plowed open, but they didn’t find anything.
The captain of the guard team checked carefully and his expression darkened. He turned around and looked at the man in luxurious clothes. “Where’s the earth worm?”
The luxuriously dressed man’s expression was also ugly. “I clearly saw the ground crack!”
“Cracked? Is there an Earth Worm just because it cracked? Did you see a real Earth Worm or not?”
“Bastard! Are you saying that I lied?!” The man in luxurious clothes’ face alternated between green and red. “Do you know who I am?! I’m Prince Jing’s chef. Would 1 lower my status and lie to a small captain like you?”
The captain’s expression froze. He clenched his fists and squeezed out an ugly smile. “1 was rash. Since you saw wrongly, I will take my leave first.”
“Let’s go!”
As he spoke, the captain and the others walked out with gloomy expressions.
The man in luxurious clothes looked around and suddenly flew into a rage out of humiliation. “What are you looking at! A group of dirty peasants, go do your work!”
Everyone was shocked and did not dare to look at him.
The man in luxurious clothes felt that he had lost a lot of face. He turned around and saw the little girl squatting in front of the bamboo forest ruins, crying silently. He was even more furious.
He walked up and slapped the little girl’s face. Half of her face was swollen and she fell to the ground.
“It’s all your fault, you idiot! Because you spouted nonsense, I misjudged the Earth Worm! Don’t even think about receiving the salary for the next three months. How unlucky!”
The little girl’s face was already in great pain. At this moment, it turned even paler. “Sir, my mother is waiting for my salary to treat her illness. Sir, Sir…”
“Get lost…”
Suddenly, a huge crack appeared under the feet of the man in luxurious clothes. Before he could finish speaking, he instantly fell and was swallowed by the crack!
Then, the crack in the ground closed as if it had never opened. The man in luxurious clothes disappeared just like that!
The rest of the people at the side gritted their teeth in anger, but they did not dare to say anything.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the high and mighty chef was actually swallowed by the ground!
“Earth Worm, Earth Worm!”
Someone exclaimed, but he was quickly interrupted by the person beside him. “Have you never seen an earth worm? How can it be like this!”
“That’s right! It’s not an earth worm!”
“It’s divine retribution! This guy was so unjust that he suffered divine retribution!”
“It’s clearly an earthly punishment. Look at the ground swallowing him up!”
“Yes, yes, yes!”
The armored guard did not go far, so they saw from afar that the man in luxurious clothes was suddenly swallowed into the ground!
They all rushed back.
Everyone naturally fell silent. They watched as the group of armored guards dug up the place where the man in luxurious clothes had fallen.
However, it was unknown if it was because these armored guards were too tired from flattening the bamboo forest just now or if they did not have any suitable tools. They clearly had strength on them, but they had to dig for a quarter of an hour before they could dig out the man in luxurious clothes who was less than half a meter underground.
Of course, he had already become a corpse that was gradually cooling down. His face was filled with fear and despair that said he was in so much pain that he wanted to die and was experiencing torture that was worse than death.
“Dead.”
“He’s dead.”
As if in tacit understanding, everyone secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
“This isn’t an Earth Worm. Earth Worms won’t hurt people in this way. Let’s go and report to the management department.”
“Okay.”
The group of armored guards carried the corpse all the way out. Before they left, the captain of the guards looked back curiously at the little girl with a swollen and a long face. They felt that her expression had become a little frightened since just now. Perhaps a person had died in front of her for no reason and frightened the child…
Lin Yan silently followed his intuition and walked in Cheng Yu’er’s direction.
Just now, he had naturally silently sunk the man in luxurious clothes into the ground. At the same time, he had also stolen a money bag on him and silently placed it in a hidden spot at the side. Then, he leaned close to the little girl’s ear and told her.
This was just a casual act. As Lin Yan walked, he thought of the Earth Worm, the Flower-Picking Orchid Jade Fruit, and the so-called Prince Jing that those people had mentioned.
He walked all the way out. This fortress was not small. It was almost half the size of District B6. It was surrounded by a high wall dozens of meters tall. Just the cost of materials, manpower, and resources were astronomical.
Lin Yan looked over. On the side far from the cliff of the human demon valley, there was an extremely luxurious courtyard and manor. The security was extremely tight, and he couldn’t see anything inside.
There were many fields around, similar to the one just now. Near the cliff, there were rows of dense military towers. Many armored soldiers were gathered in them, but most of them were in twos and threes, resting. It was as if they had experienced a huge battle and were recuperating.
On the other hand, a large area in the center of the entire fortress was stacked into a majestic inner city wall with the same materials as the city wall. It was high, and no one knew what was inside.
Lin Yan sensed that Cheng Yu’er’s location was between the military residence and the luxurious manor. Lin Yan took a closer look and realized that there were more than ten townhouses separated from each other by a certain distance. They looked like some hotels in the scenic areas he had seen in his previous life.
Soon, Lin Yan arrived at the hotel villa area according to his intuition. After walking three blocks, he believed that Cheng Yu’er was inside the villa.
The villa had a manor, and the door was open, but there was no one at the door.
In fact, when Lin Yan came over just now, he realized that the doors of the three villas in front of him were also open. The lawn in the courtyard was covered in footprints, and many lamp posts and stone tables had fallen to the ground, as if someone had evacuated in a hurry.
It was the same for this villa. Not only was the iron gate at the outermost area open, but the door to the villa was also open in the courtyard.
Lin Yan walked in through the door and entered the hall. He saw Cheng Yu’er, who was only wearing underwear and a shirt that covered her thighs, walking out with a pot of stew that looked like beef and vegetables mixed together.
Her two snow-white thighs overlapped and swayed. They were extremely dazzling.
She carried the nuts to the sofa in the living room and placed them on the coffee table. Only then did she pick up a pair of pants from the chair and put them on again.
During the process, it was naturally revealing again.
“The door is open. Aren’t you afraid of being seen by others if you change like this?!”
Lin Yan reminded her at the right time.
“All!”
Cheng Yu’er screamed instinctively.
Lin Yan slowly revealed himself. His back was facing Cheng Yu’er as he looked at the door.
He had already checked. There was no one else in the villa except Cheng Yu’er.
“Big… Big Brother Thigh!” Cheng Yu’er hurriedly put on her skirt and bit her lip. Her face instantly flushed red. “When… when did you come!”
“When you came out of the kitchen with the beef…”
Lin Yan closed the door.
“Then you saw everything?” Cheng Yu’er gritted her teeth.
Lin Yan turned around and said seriously, “I can only say that I’ve seen everything I should have seen. 1 haven’t seen anything I shouldn’t have..”
